Software Setting
The coating is engineered for more than 300% ink coverage. A photo gloss, satin or semi-gloss setting is recommended as a starting point. However, a custom ICC profile is ideal for optimal results.
Light Fastness
Inkjet ink fading time is based on the inks you use and the print display environment. Dye-based inks fade noticeably under direct sunlight and interior applications where direct sunlight may fall on the image, and/or where fluorescent or other UV lighting is present. Though fading is inherent in all inkjet inks, certain UV-resistant inks, pigment-based inks, and UV-inhibiting coatings will extend image longevity. For lightfastness data and to determine an ink’s suitability for the application, contact the ink manufacturer.
Finishing/Post Processing
It is recommended that you protect the printed side by mounting under glass, laminating, clear coating, or using photographic sleeves. This will help ensure image durability and stability. Pressure sensitive laminates provide the best bond. Applying the laminate by hand is not recommended.
Handling Recommendations
Avoid touching the coated surface and use cotton gloves when handling inkjet coated materials. Rolls of Kodak inkjet media come with the coated side facing out.
